Description

To take you further behind the scenes of Wonderland, I’m sharing my conversation with E. Clayton Cornelious, who played the part of Caterpillar and is also a Broadway producer himself of such shows as Ain't Too Proud, Chicken and Biscuits, and New York, New York.

In the previous episode, we explored the musical world of Frank Wildhorn and two of his shows that graced the Marquis Theatre for only about a month each, and E. Clay was a big help in putting that episode together. Now, you’ll get our full interview, full of anecdotes and tidbits I couldn't fit into the mail episode. You'll learn about how he was ultimately cast in Wonderland and even more about what was going backstage during rehearsals and performances. And being a producer as well, E. Clay also provides extra insight into what it means for a show to close so quickly.
